About this property

Little Cottage in the Woods

This peaceful little cabin is nestled in a groove of oaks, facing a meadow and a meandering spring creek and a lighted fishing hole. It has a lot of privacy, an outdoor firepit, outdoor seating, trees, and a porch with a view of the meadow and creek. You may see an occasional grazing cow and there’s plenty of hiking, fishing and bird watching. Bring the old fishing pole. The cottage is extremely private, with a fresh water well, and state- of- the- art indoor heating and cooling.
The roof and ceiling of the cottage are repurposed with antique barn tin.
The cottage is furnished with old family antiques dating back to the late 1800’s. There’s a full kitchen with a beautiful, add-on, pioneer kitchen table. The kitchen is furnished with a Keurig and a microwave for those who really want to get back to basics, but not too far back! There is no wifi here. This place is not a hotel, but an old, refurbished cabin, smack dab in the middle of a working ranch! Don't be surprised if a cow greets you as you step outside the cabin for your morning coffee. We do not have fences around the cabin. Please be mindful of this if you bring your fuzzy babies along.
This cottage is a true get away. A rugged yet chic, old yet modern, unplugged place to retreat.
Come here and trim down, reprioritize and find your purpose again!

Great property. Definitely for the able bodied though. Make sure you are careful getting in and out of the shower. Kitchen utensils were a little worse for wear. Overall it was a lovely experience

A lovely place for quiet solitude. It was pleasant. Enjoyed seeing the deer, mostly does, but one buck and a couple of yearlings. Also some squirrels. Do not expect a 5 star sterile environment. This is a nice cabin in the woods. We stayed for 4 nights. Our youngest daughter was getting married.

Great out in nature stay. Enjoyed fishing, birds, deer, whitetail and Axis, and grey fox on property. Owner very good, communicated well, had everything perfect. It's not the Pent house, but I didn't want the Pent house. Great place, highly recommended 👊

Fantastic Getaway

We absolutely loved this little cabin! It’s a perfect getaway spot and was so relaxing and cozy. The interior is homey and comfortable. And the view around the cottage is beautiful. If you enjoy wildlife or fishing, this is the perfect place for you. The fishing hole is great for catching small fish and we saw all kinds of wildlife around the property.

The cabin was very clean and peaceful. We loved seeing the wild animals. The only thing that would have made it better is if they had a hammock outside :)
